Classroom Considerations

Classes must be added on a computer so be sure to set up time to create classes when you have access to a desktop/laptop. There is a Demo account provided that lets you practice using and customizing the feedback fields. The great part about the website is that it guides you through the set-up process (super helpful). When using the website, you can also have a screen for learners to see and hear feedback cues and timer function. This may or may not be a good fit for your instructional style.

While this is super helpful for collecting behavioral data, the actual avatars may not be appropriate for everyone. The images tend to be geared for younger grades (monster/critter avatars). The good news is that you can upload actual photos or drawings from your computer!

You can customize the behaviors and feedback fields for specific areas that you are focusing on.

The biggest drawback is that you can't customize or set up classes on the tablet.

Pros

Imports class lists quickly and easily through the Class Dojo website

Parents and kids can have their own access

Fun interface that kids love

Create your own categories

Cons

Not enough monster icons for each child to have their own unique identifier

Requires computer access to set up

Most editing needs to be done on the website, rather than on the tablet/mobile device
